Palate

The first sip seduces, the second reminds… Up front red fruits and maraschino cherry flavours quickly transition to the ‘Noir-ish’ — Black Forest cake, blackberry, black cherry,black … Sitting softens. A Christmas pudding mix of soaked fruits and rind offers a friendly hand. Similarly talc-like/velvety tannins are non-aggressive, politely acting as a conveyance. They almost appear coupled with cocoa/dark chocolate dust. Texturally woven, with all components well integrated and absorbed… inducing a sensory perception of roundness, of a lush film coated across the palate. Again, oak (sandalwood nuances, not cedar) sensitively stands to one side — its supporting role well scripted. Assured and distinctive, this Grange will appease and reward.
